I must admit I'm not a big fan of Christmas scrapbooking, but when I recieved my last Blue Fern Studios package, I was thrilled! Both Vintage Christmas and Vintage Christmas 2 collections are simply wonderful!

I started out with the Deck The Halls paper from Vintage Christmas. I wanted to go with a traditional color combo with this one, and the red in the paper immediately spoke to me. I also used some of the cards from the Greeting Cards paper, also from Vintage Christmas, to layer under my photo.

I used the beautiful Tree Toys chipboards on my layout. I embossed it with Imagine Ink Lime embossing powder. While the powder was still hot, I sprinkled some Imagine Ink Vintage Gold glitter. I love the beautiful effect it gave.

To embellish around my photo, I used the beautiful Attic Charm Glitter Roses, as they come with beautiful gold glitter and the colors matched perfectly my layout. I also used two Harvest Lilies.

Finally, my title piece comes from the Winter Titles set. I treated it the same way as the other chipboards.

This layout started out as a challenge that two of my friend gave me. I told them that I wanted to do a green layout, so they gave me some green moss and some flower soft (I didn't think it existed anymore) to add to my layout. At first, I was hesitant, but I think the end result is pretty good, don't you think?

I used a favorite of mine to add the color to my background: Palm Reader Vibez.

You can see on the picture above some flower soft near the tags. I must say that I love the texture it gave to my background.

To add some contrast, I used Don't Be Suede Coloringz to add some drops here and there around my layout.

I love the end result.

So I hope that my layout inspires you to step out of your comfort zone and to go with the flow.

I'm here today to share my first layout for Shimmerz Paints this month. Here it is.

As usual, I started out by priming my 7 Dots Studio paper (Lost Letter, from the Cold Country collection) with clear gesso.

I used two colors for this one: Rolling in the Hay and Before Dawn Vibez. I can't get enough of the two tone greenish-yellow I get using the Rolling in the Hay Vibez. Look at the color variation on the picture above! It's crazy!

I sprayed the Rolling in the Hay Vibez onto white flowers, to make them match my layout. I used my Before Dawn Vibez to color my lace.

Those colors are gorgeous together.

I hope you like it. Don't forget to mention my blog if you order to get your free paint.
